May - Calico Cat Available for Adoption in Ottawa, Ontario

While May spends her first few days tucked away while she adjusts to a new environment, once she feels comfortable, she becomes an affectionate, loyal companion who loves being involved in whatever you're doing. Her favourite things include head scratches, ear rubs, belly pets, and spending time close to her humans. She isn't a dedicated lap cat, but she loves curling up beside you on the couch, sleeping on the bed, and keeping you company throughout the day. May enjoys the simple things in life: watching birds and squirrels from the window, lounging in her favourite spots around the house, and playing with toys on her own. She especially loves catnip toys and will sometimes proudly parade around with her latest "catch," announcing her success with a loud meow. She gets along well with calm, respectful cats and prefers to avoid conflict rather than engage in it. Easygoing and affectionate, May is looking for a home where she can settle in at her own pace and spend her days enjoying good food, cozy naps, and plenty of attention from her favourite people.
